part of it goes to green energy solutions for reforestation. they create an interactive contract teaching the next generation about environmental protection and were determined to build something here for the next generation the ones you know all two million foreman series on the w. . all around the world young women are shaking up the film industry. what's their inspiration what's their secret. secrets five women five stories now on an arts twenty one special.

i saw there is an american with mexican roots she brings stories of immigrants to the screen. i really strongly believe that that the one someone opens up and tells their story something changes in them. most now must suffer it is one of the very few movie directors from the sultanate of a man expression in the west the always have an idea that women in my country are oppressed . i don't feel it's true. that it is sean is an actor from turkey who's had enough of playing in cliche roles. mostly there like stereotypical roles for women. out of from the finkel of belgium tackle some tough subjects through animation. the problem is puppets are very fragile so if you have moved them ten times you have to fix them right. kate and made by. of the united states produces films that make no

compromises if i have an opportunity to hire women i well because i believe in advancing our careers and sort of point people up. but also because i just like what was. how do all these women survive and get ahead in an industry where men supper turn. we took with them of the twenty eight hundred but in our talents the band and film festivals platform for young filmmakers from around the world. to . the. million or so so i was born in the united states the daughter of mexican immigrants . my mom started cleaning houses she was a maid you know so like they've sacrificed so much. for my sister and i to have a better life so for me i don't take it lightly to be a filmmaker. any us films portray people at the edges of american society

immigrants without legal documents and without hope. our history and i sat there in the square through the whole. system most families surprise me it is so many and better where racist day to day still where poor authentic scam didn't scare me though in a very very. early. in the windows. stay in it. support in a can mean. the filmmaker chronicled the pregnancies of two women one living in the united states illegally the other with an undocumented mex. and

husband it was the period just off to donald trump's electoral college victory. after the election i. dreamt that there were vigil in tikrit scarring door to door in our neighborhood and my son was born and i was holding him in my arms and i lose her hiding my husband and the floorboards. the political tension right now in the us is really heavy and it's affecting people in very traumatic ways so making a documentary about these kinds of issues is a way to allow the. these communities to express themselves and to have that platform. ileana is well acquainted with such stories she also has undocumented friends and relatives all possible texas where she grew up is right on the mexican border. growing up on the border for me is a constant inspiration and that landscape of the desert of the stillness of that is

very much present in my work. in the us first feature child of the desert tells a story of personal loss the mother of a fallen american soldier encounters a young mexican man who has no papers. they are two of the many dispossessed and they help one another. but at the breach i want to comment on. one of the.

after trans victory mexican immigrants came under pressure racism started coming out in the open and began making documentaries. directing is really a privilege so for me crossing over to documentary is political because you're able to. give a platform for stories that people don't normally see. but i think this. group of. folks that here. to see it out. and look at it on then on we had both a source program must carry this time was being. must i. cannot get out again get along. with the n.s.a. . can i be at my door said he having.

the reality is that it's difficult for women of color to make films it's still a very sexist and racist industry rate so. i think it's more difficult because sometimes you're not taken seriously trusting your gut in knowing that you do have something to say i think that's that's the secret. most one of a very few women directors lives and works by the principle never stop believing in the power of your own cinematic vision. when i was a kid i always thought being a boy is very but then i changed the saying. it's not necessarily to be among two. to be strong. like specially in the west they always have an idea that

women in my country pressed. i don't feel it's true because i grew up. in a house where my mom was stronger than my dad sometimes and my grandmother. for her final university project must not help with female gender roles what is a woman in the eyes of society. i'm somebody. for. when they see me. you could read on my forehead. that i'm either a bit. chris thomas we were simply a ghost. and it clobbers a story of a woman with a vain where in a vain. thinkin or question herself before going to a honda will. with her lover question what is she is in front of the

society and how how people see her inside me might of along a child. or a loving mother. or and. i think there is a social vein in all in every society there is a social veil that blocks you from expressing and talk in and. you know in the gulf where i grew up we have white men wear a veil and women white having. nobody was born with no problems and. there are many filmmakers and muslims hunt country and funding is all but nonexistent. she's working to change that romance only film festival. this arab state is largely desert and still developing both socially and economically

culturally it's close to the gulf states but with strong african influences. and i come from. a baluchi background my my parents spoke always different language than arabic and i went to school and i said i heard arabic i heard him say hey they're heard but heard a body which is all those you know it will and it's not all languages and i referred to it's interesting to speak about a man from a different point of view. must not decided to shoot her second film ends and the bath a former overseas colony of a man. two hof brothers meet. one of them grew up in moscow not a man's prosperous capital the other impoverished zanzibar. the two brothers and

two countries are connected by family and history. as a filmmaker must now strive to reflect a country's cultural diversity devoid of clichés. towards my country towards the region where i come from. but how to support filmmakers and finance productions that don't fit existing definitions. for that it takes courageous producers like a to make back. the director has given birth to this idea that is the movie and my job is to make sure that it has all of the

things that it needs to be successful and sometimes that's money and sometimes that's other creative partners about say good composer if that's an editor and sometimes it's just taking the phone call at three o'clock in the morning from the director who's panicked that we're just never going to finish there's. no world winning producer of independent films in the united states. among them are quirky animations. to cure your impotence you want me to implant go test to go. in do you. oh doctor can't be worse than a nut job. and short subjects about women comedians struggling to make it. out in a way that. you know you have some other. please welcome an expert former now that tally. does what makes a statement and everybody you know and provocative sports documentaries are not

giving you anything right. now before it was charged with robbery possession and you should. go want to be like everybody else. can win an emmy for this documentary about america's social realities. i got the tattoo for every feature i've done and i like the idea that they've changed me and so i want to mark each one with a physical change it's about a football team and so i got their team cheer tattooed on my ankle and a crown because that came really whenever she can hit and makes it a point to hire women for her film projects. it's about she knows from experience what it means to try to make it in a male to maybe i think one of the secrets to being successful as a female producer is to be constantly working to eliminate female from that description i really set about the idea that in the future i won't have

to be actively hiring women in order to advance their careers because it will just be taken for granted that everyone is being judged on their merit. but also need cuts and patience especially now in the u.s. . mike's inconvenient political topics ason have the sorry you know what the next and see all we are. it's a no holds barred documentary about a republican and trump supporter. he's fast and loose with braces statements. those things that he said in our voice calling for the death of our president phone mad cow disease said that his white power post lady michelle looks like a man is she should go back to africa and play with her go role in the case for him to say something like that so freely. it caused me

to become an angry black man. i tolerated a lot of things over the years but what i will never tolerate such bo-bo conscious disrespect of hate to this towards another human being simply because of the color of this stint. as a producer working in the time of trumpets just it's a little anxiety inducing because i'm worried about we're watching the rights being taken away from group after group and i'm sort of wondering when it's coming for us . to finance such films they can also produces light entertainment shows for t.v. that's the reality of independent film very few can make a living from it. how many compromises do women have to make. twenty four year old at it is a turkish actor. she's had roles in award winning

feature films but her bread and butter has long been shallow daytime serials. most of his stories are being told by male perspective mostly on the ailing with. people all the forty fifty years old so they can be there i feel like i'm being devalued by them sometimes i feel like. they don't really care about what i'm thinking what i'm saying the without is given more acting freedom the character she creates can be highly complex personalities non-conformist on vulnerable. my only sunshine was a. growing up solely of a young woman. who lives in the lawless and why i meant and her rebellion against is bad for. she's being heard

by her in my arm and by the people around her and she. she doesn't experience love . it takes a look at the bottom let's see. thank you i told him his son well you got bushel. but. you cannot thank the. nobody. she tries to. run away from that world and like to go. i feel like my political opinion might be more important and my skills.

i am political person but in our days i have i don't feel myself a comfortable about. telling my political opinion in and publicly. at these i had the privilege i'm like i'm feeling myself thinking like you and proud that i could take part of these projects that also shows where i'm standing what i'm standing for. as she did in must time the story of five sisters who were too rebellious for rural turkey. and innocent game with some boys takes a disastrous turn. this event

is they. are the girls i looked up abused and forced into marriages. but they don't give up. it's none frenching examination of tucker society which on the president added juan is drifting towards extremes masculine muslim i'm assortments. this talk of french co-production was acclaimed in many countries but in turkey it was of course highly controversial. i was feeling very powerful while we were shooting it like. as if we could like

pick the control of the world you know and that we could like burn that house. she. can do more films and doesn't object to. them as subjects don't show the victims but like as figures that they can speak for themselves. for a long time that has not been the case. an amazing lot of from the video takes things to extremes until they reach critical mass. yet. here a woman is formed from modeling clay god makes her according to his own absurd

ideas and. moving stories that raise disturbing questions now to has our own way of presenting them to film questions of violence against women. and then there had happened the rape case in india. which which had. this stirred me a lot so i wanted to make something about that. i was interested by the by standers effect which means that the more people are present in the situation of violence the less big the chance that someone will intervene. ignorance apathy and the fine cracks and how well oiled affluent society. laura expresses

themes like these in a seemingly naive cinematic language which only makes the stories disturbing. in paradise refugees try to cross the mediterranean while overworked europeans travel to those very countries for a couple of weeks vacation. is . our paradise there how. can. you imagine the situation in which your puppets are in so for example a voice animating the moment of the puppets in the boats the refugee. you kind of imagine yourself in this boat as well in the situation so i was

thinking if i was in this boat together with these other people what would i do. but empathy carries a certain risk simple truths implied simple answers. there's something tricky about these. teams because you there's a danger of becoming moralistic. or cynic and that's the trap i want to avoid. they make uncomfortable films that a term and to go their own way but these women are still a long way from their destination. the weinstein scandal and the me too movement have set wheels in motion and these women filmmakers are helping to move them.

in the honest next film is a very personal one the story of her grandfather that will follow his footsteps from mexico to the united states financing projects like this is never easy but she's optimistic. this year is actually really promising to see for example the first female cinematography soon the first female cinematographer to be nominated for an oscar i mean it's amazing right but it's twenty eight teams take wow big you know that should have happened years ago. but uses every opportunity to find an audience for her films festivals theaters and online but she'd like much more. my i mean lives in my mom's house and she keeps asking for every to get a boyfriend so it would be really nice if his name could be oscar. alex continues to pursue unconventional roles the next project is a vampire series session istanbul produced exclusively for online viewing.

government has less control in these platforms it's more free. and how next film must know will again be looking at amman's history this time focusing on the culture of the nomads. we have the right timing to continue to move . where consumers. it's the right time lara's pockets are venturing into real life and interacting with our world. sometimes i want to change the world for come outs so. i'm aware of the. who figures i'm doing but i think it's very good to try.
